Re: Abrupt Velocity Switching on Perfect Piano-ZR

2004-06-10 by robotchas

It's more work, but if you're given separate samples for each 
velocity layer you can also go into the layer ranges, overlap the 
velocities, and add some fades to smooth the cross-switching. The 
drums on the PX ROM and the EPs on the Vintage ROM (well, some of 
them) are set up this way. I don't know if the ZR gives you this kind 
of access, though, or if the velocity switching is just hard-wired 
within the instrument itself.
